Norco Vs Hydromorphone False Positive
UpdatedI am prescribed Norco 10/325 for a back injury. My doctor gave me a urine test which is degrading enough on it's own, and the test came back positive for a high level of hydromorphone (dilauded). I have never taken anything except for the Norco so why did the test come back as a false positive? I have never been accused of lying before and it was not a good feeling! I have no reason to lie and I want to prove the doctor wrong! Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Norco contains hydrocodone, which metabolizes into hydromorphone. This is not a false positive. You really do have hydromorphone in your system. But this is an expected result of taking Norco. Your physician should be aware of this and not penalize you.
I am going thru the same thing right now.mi take Norco 10/325 after car accident 8 years ago. It came back in my urine positive for both hydrocodone and hydromorphone. In the 8 years this has never happened and a high value. I take 4 pills a daily..what should my number value be.,cause it has me red flagged as being off the charts high and I only take what I'm allowed. The same for Xanax. I take .5 to 1 milligram daily and that too came back with a very high value. Can anyone explain why. Please...thank you
Hi, I am going through the exact same thing. My Dr. did a drug test on me and wants to know where I am getting dilaudid, because hydromorphine showed up positive. I have NEVER taken or even seen dilaudid in my life. I am only on norco prescribed by her. Did you ever find out what happened in your case?
Re: micki (# 3)
Did you ever figure out why you tested positive for dilaudid? I'm going to the exact same thing right now at my doctor and I was put on probation. I don't want to get kicked out of the of the doctor's office. PLEASE HELP. I don't know how to convince her that I have not EVER taken hydromorphone!!! Help Please
